Strange... isn't it? :-)

Can YOU read this?

Yeah I thought it was pretty cool. I had to share it with people. Goes to show why we so often overlook mispelled words, etc when we write papers. Thank goodness for spellcheck catching it for us.

Answer 1

yea-someone sent this to me in an email before but it said if you CAN read it you're retarded...I went around thinking I belonged on the short yellow bus all this time...lol

Tahts cool....lol

Answer 3

actually I can
Couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phamonal power of the human mind, according to Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important hing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.

The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? ( Yeah it really is) Yeah and I always thought spelling was important.

That's what it says...creepy

Answer 4

Yes, I can read it, but I disagree with the premise. The mind IS aware that these words are scrambled but has the capacity for unscrambling them into their proper order and interpreting the word with such extraordinary speed that it SEEMS like we are reading words as a whole. If letter order did not make any difference to the brain in word recognition, there would be no such disorder as dyslexia.

Answer 5

Yes. I can read this easier than a lot of teen-speak gibberish that is so prevalent on the Internet. The key to this is each "word" is an anagram of the actual word, so our minds are still able to recognize all the characters.

Answer 6

Whoa, I feel special. At first while I was reading it I was like, "I'm smart, I'm smart", then it said that junk about the human mind not reading every letter but the word as a whole and I was like ,"Darn, everyone can read this," so maybe I am not that
smart.

Answer 7

Yes I can, the mnid si a azamnig tihng.

Answer 8

Sure can! Pretty amazing what the human mind can do! I've seen this before too, I think from someone at work

Answer 9

Impressive what the human mind can do isn't it? I had this exercise in a class in college and thought it was great, still do.

Answer 10

Yeah, it's readable.

I wouldn't say spelling still isn't important, though - people appreciate when you take the time to spell things out correctly when writing to them.
